A large – 33.7cm diameter – wall or window poster advertising the genuine Duncan Yo-Yo Tournament Top, Model 77. The design featured a silhouette image of Duncan's Mr. Yo-Yo character standing on a base pedestal with an oversized hand throwing down a yo-yo.

From the late 1940s and into the early 1970s, these large, round, eye-catching posters were often seen in store windows, or on a wall inside the store near a counter display box of Duncan yo-yos. While the poster size never changed, the yo-yo image colors varied. Some were printed with a yellow or blue yo-yo body with a black stripe, and some with a red yo-yo body with and without a black stripe. And, as the years went by, there were slight design variations made to the center text and imagery as well.
